EDITORS COMMENTS
Robert Louis Stevenson's House at Monterey, California (1902) - This evocative photograph captures the charming Victorian house where Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson resided during his successful courting of Fanny Osbourne in the late 1870s. The picturesque setting of Monterey, California, served as the backdrop for Stevenson's writing of "The Old Pacific Capital" in 1879. The experiences and inspiration gleaned from his time in Monterey significantly influenced his literary masterpiece, "Treasure Island," published in 1883. This significant period in Stevenson's life marked his transition from a struggling writer to a celebrated author in the United States. The house, now a National Historic Site, stands as a testament to the transformative power of place on the creative process and the enduring legacy of Robert Louis Stevenson as a seminal figure in both Scottish and American literature.
